I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Boatel in downtown Toronto. It's difficult to convey how great this place is because it's so unique, and partly about the experience itself. The owners and staff were fantastic, the location is as good as, or better than, any of the major hotels in the area, breakfast was delicious, the place was really clean, and the bed was super comfy.
If you're looking for a gigantic hotel room to spend your time in this isn't the place, but if you're looking for a convenient, comfy, friendly, memorable Toronto experience, stay here. I'll definitely be going back.
